Good morning! Who's ready for a fun night at LFS for yet another playoff match? Tough opponent coming to town, so it won't be a cake walk. In this episode, Joey and I discuss Racing's season finale against Sand Diego (Landon Donovan really needs to take the dive and go bald. It's over, bro!) and Loucity's big win to open the playoffs against a feisty North Carolina FC. We have a tough letter "Q" i...

We also cover the very successful USWNT event here last Wednesday, and this week it's letter P in our "ABC's Of Loui...

Good morning, and I hope you are doing well this amazing morning! Between the cloudless skies and colorful nights October here has been fantastic, but not so much in other places.

Good morning! Another glorious October day is on tap for our teams. One is arguably the biggest NWSL match in Racing's history, as a lot of changes were made to get the team into the playoffs but they currently find themselves three points on the outside looking in with four matches remaining. The other is the latest installment of LIPAFC in Indy (which is oddly like a home game for me now) and it...

Hey! Miss us? We've missed you! A new micro PC has been purchased to replace my old laptop (RIP) and we're back in business.

If you enj...

Hey everyone. Hope you all had a fun Derby! A late edition and fairly simple.

We also delve into LouCity's grind of a win in Windy Loudon, Racing's pulverizing of Utah (who apparently has a keeper with a crap sense of humor), and the madness of what has transpired in Indy the last couple of days. I al...
